i think nemo is latin for no one, or no man or something

"But I can't go back, and I don't want to,
'cause all my mistakes, they brought me to you"
Yup... they were called Level first, then changed the name when the other Level got national attention.
Read (not watch) Into the Wild.
That is where I was going. I just finished reading "Into The Wild" and for some reason i had a feeling that is where it came from. That is good stuff.

So if ever someone one says to you,
Life isn't fair, get used to it
Then you should say 'Well it might be
If folks like you would let it be"
That is the first thing I thought of when I read it. Its nice to hear that our suspicious were right.
Into the Wild??
awesome if it's true
pretty beautiful, if so
Not quite Into the Wild:
After the fall of Margo came the birth of Nemo, which includes both brothers. This was another hard rock attempt in which they took the name of the band from a book they were reading about the poet Everett Reuss. Reuss became so disgusted with modern day life that he set off into the Utah desert in 1934 to live and learn like a sage and disappeared forever at the age of 20. "Nemo" means "nobody" in Latin. It was found scrawled on the wall of a cave not far from where Reuss's starving burro was found.
The Avetts related to this "because we rocked so hard but did not promote ourselves like other bands," as Scott tells it.
